Richardson, AICP Planning Manager 801 Main Street, Suite 205 Beaumont, TX AUG 13 2003 Re: Application for Right -of -Way Abandonment Vermont Street, Lamar Addition Dear Mr. Richardson: Attached is an application from Mobil Pipe Line Company (Mobil) to abandon a portion of Vermont Avenue, an unpaved dedicated street, in Lamar Addition within the City of Beaumont. All lots adjoining this portion of Vermont Avenue are owned by Mobil Pipe Line Company. The Equipment Station Easement from Mobil Pipe Line Company to Southwestern Bell Telephone Company provides for the unimpaired access with the right of ingress and egress over existing roadways and such other routes as may be designated and approved by Mobil, therefore Mobil will not restrict Southwestern Bell's access upon abandonment of Vermont Avenue. There is no Union Pacific Railroad crossing at Vermont Avenue. The purpose of the abandonment is to restrict public access to Mobil's existing pipelines and facilities. Also attached is our Draft No. 003667 in the amount of $200. If you have any questions, please call me at 409-719-4388. Sincerely, Ma a H.
